I've been terribly absent from dA as of late, and I've missed it. I will try to check in with y'all a bit more often.
What I've been doing:
1. Composing a LOT of music - I released a new album for my darkwave project, Sirenne, about a month and a half ago and it's been well received. Thank you for your support and patience on releasing that latest work - it took me way longer than expected! sirenne.bandcamp.com
2. Building my makeup artistry skills alongside building my Mary Kay business. If you want to check out some MOTDs (Makeup of the Day) I've done, go here! museformarykay.tumblr.com (and you can order from me at marykay.com/muse.en.lystrala
3. Preparing to finish my AA in Liberal Arts
4. Planning two trips to Scandinavia in the upcoming year
5. Preparing a move to Oslo or Helsinki by the end of this year
6. Working on my next novel for Clans of the Dark Masque. facebook.com/clansofthedarkmas…
So yeah, I've been super busy! Looking forward to seeing lots of awesome work from everyone on here in 2016. Happy New Year, my fellow deviants!

Queenship's first shipped game - Open Spaces!
I'm excited to announce that my game studio has shipped its first title - Open Spaces: A Visual Novel of Anxiety and Agoraphobia.
Through the lens of four different characters the player will explore the symptoms and some management methods of both of these disorders. We hope that Open Spaces will serve as an educational tool for both sufferers to place their symptoms in context and learn about ways they can manage them, as well as for community members who want to learn about these disorders and help the sufferers in their lives - we hold this hope for all our games.
Aside from our core team, we got to work with some extremely skilled arti
Queenship Ascending
It's been better than a year since I last posted, and I apologize for that.
2018 was a challenging year. A blood transfusion, two surgeries (and one major post-op infection), and lots of drugs and recovery, I am now fibroid and anemia-free. The second half of the year was spent restoring physical health - a process that lasted into spring 2019 - and preparing for living on my own again. I've succeeded at both.
I've spent most of my time creating music and art for, and running the business of, Queenship Game Studio. It started with a Ludum Dare prototype, and after lots of discussion and improvement, Queenship is preparing its first ships -
New paintings, classes, and mentoring!
To start with, I am super excited to announce that I will be teaching a twice-monthly acrylic painting class right here in Albany, New York! This class caters to all skill levels, and I'm super grateful to the Low Beat for helping me organize it! I will also be teaching a two-part seminar on video game composition at the Arts Center of the Capital Region in Troy, NY. I am, needless to say, STOKED about this!
I've been painting a lot this past year or so, partly owing to illness - I suffered from severe anemia for the better part of the last year, and I'm just physically getting back on my feet after a blood transfusion, a surgery, and lots o
Women as Weapons, Aleppo, and Other Happenings
Women as Weapons, a new photojournalism project I have started, is now shooting! If you are a female-identifying weapons or martial arts practitioner or enthusiast, and you might want to participate, please drop me a line! The project will consist of photos and personal interviews exploring the theme of female warriorhood in the 21st century.
My ensemble, Geek Musica, will be performing with Blood Moon (which I am also a member of) on February 22nd to raise funds for Aleppo's survivors. We will be contributing funds to The White Helmets and Doctors Without Borders specifically for their work in Aleppo. If you can attend, please buy a ticket!
